$43.50 Roland SH-7 Thrift Shop Find

Analog synthesizer Roland SH 7, is this the top mono of all time ?

Published on Oct 19, 2017 Fuzzo Frizzbeebot

"Got this at the thrift store for 43.50. Checking out the function. Not a top notch recording. Youtube sound quality not top notch either. Truly impressive sounding deep deep mono synthesizer. It's supposed to be one of the top 10 mono synth's available. Rare though. Far more modulation then the other top Roland mono the SH 5. Still working out the crudey switch and slider bug's. No idea what I'm doing yet. About a cool a synthesizer as these old beast's get."

"A customer sent in his Pro Soloist for repair because the touch sensor effects weren't working and some presets sustained indefinitely after releasing the key. I also noticed several of the presets were dead. So we dive in and get this all fixed so he can get back to making awesome music with it.

ARP Pro Soloists and parts are available through my website. I also repair and restore ARPs and other vintage synths for customers around the world."

via this auction

"The Syncussion comes with the trigger drums which both work, 1/4 inch leads not included. However, it comes into its own when triggered by something like a tr606 or 808. We have used various devices and signals as triggers and they do affect the volume and timbre in interesting ways.

It is a crazy synth. One of the best and most fun to play with. It really flies when you start adding a pedal or controller to the 'tune' input."

Make Noise Contour Overview Videos

Playlist:

1. Make Noise Contour, Part 1: Overview and Cycling
"Contour is a 4 Stage function generator, or ADSR, derived from our 0-COAST synthesizer. It is designed to create control voltages to drive the Dynamix, modDemix and other fast VCAs, VCFs, and more. The Contour takes inspiration from the original Loudness Contour circuit of the MiniMoog, which is perhaps the most well-known example of East Coast Synthesis. The simplified control set (where Decay adjust both the decay to Sustain and the Release) makes it quick and intuitive to set-up. The Contour module adds full voltage control, a mirrored output, End of Onset and End of Contour Gate outputs which allow it to be highly integrated into any modular synthesizer regardless of coastal allegiance."

2. Contour pt. 2: Mirrored Output for Crossfading and Panning of Audio and CV
"The Contour's Mirrored Output can be used, with a dual VCA such as Dynamix, for panning and crossfading. These processes are not limited to audio: CV panning and crossfading can yield interesting results with relatively simple patches."

It come in very good shape, panel is clean apart some very small signs of the age as you can see on the auction photos, only the right side end bottom cheek is a bit broken but generally in GREAT cosmetic conditions.

Working conditions: when it power on the panel appears blocked without any sound, It need to be serviced, it has all its components inside, only the internal battery was replaced with a new one, there is NO battery acid inside. My tech told me that for sure the problems is caused by an IC called TMS7000NL-2 in the CPU section (I’ve just seen about $6 on ebay). I twill be sold in AS-IS conditions since it deserve some tech attentions."

The synth in ORIGINAL conditions, all the CEM IC’s were tested by my tech and them are all perfect working, keyboard was rebushed, serviced but there are still some few keys to clean.

Boss DR 55 Dr. Rhythm Analog Drum Machine Demo


Published on Oct 19, 2017 Sound Provider

"Another Drum machine we use for the Sound Provider Sound Banks.( http://www.sound-provider.eu/ ), archaic to program but super punchy sound

The Boss Dr55 "Dr. Rhythm" Drum Machine is a early 80s vintage Japan write-step drum machine.

Some words about it from VintageSynth.com:
"The DR-55 Dr. Rhythm was released in 1980 and was one of the first step-write-style drum machines, and it was the first rhythm machine in BOSS' successful Dr. Rhythm Series. It was small, inexpensive and easy to use - perfect for musicians at any level. Incredibly basic controls and sounds made this drum machine an instant hit among guitarists and other musicians looking for drum accompaniment to practice along with and even record into their home recordings.

The DR-55 could store up to six 16-step drum patterns plus an additional two 12-step patterns. The 12-step patterns allowed for 3/4 and 6/8 rhythms. A variation switch allowed you to, on-the-fly, alter the pattern playing. There were only four sounds in the DR-55 which included Snare Drum, Kick Drum, Rim Shot and Hi-Hat. The sounds are comparable to Roland's CR-series of rhythm machines as well as some of Roland's cheaper TR-machines (like the TR-505, TR-606). You can globally adjust the Volume, Tempo, Tone and Accent for the drum sounds.

Step-Mode programming was accomplished in a fairly basic manner: Switch the DR-55 into Write Mode and select a sound from the Sound switch, and use the Start button to place the sound and the Stop button to step through the 16 (or 12) beat pattern. Only Kick, Snare, Rim Shot and Accent could be placed in a pattern in step mode--the Hi-Hats could only be programmed as either Off, 8ths, 12ths or 16ths via the Hi-Hat switch. Primitive programming for sure, but very simple and effective.

Today, where its sounds can easily be sampled, the DR-55 may seem pretty useless. However it does have an authentic sense of nostalgia being BOSS' first DR-machine and also quite a successful early programmable drum machine. You may not find a need for such an instrument today although it does make a great conversation piece! It has been used by New Order, The Cure, Chris Carter, Sisters of Mercy, Chris & Cosey, Xeno & Oaklander, Soft Cell and Thomas Dolby."
